.223 neck flaring?

Hey, I am using a Dillon 650 and I am trying to load .223. Does the powder drop station flare the neck to accept the bullet as it does in pistol calibers? I am getting copper fragments being stripped off during the bullet seating station. Any help please.

You don't flare bottleneck rifle case mouths as you would a handgun cartridge. At most, use a chamfering tool to bevel the inside of the case mouth to ease seating of flatbase bullets.

yes they do. Powder funnel "A". Try this dillon conversion table. http://gunwiki.net/apps/calconversion/index.asp?machine_3=on&go=Choose+Machines

I've been reloading for over 40 years and I have never flared the mouth on a bottle neck case. As Dillon posted a slight bevel on the inside of the mouth case is all that is needed. You start flaring these cases and your brass won't last long.
